sprocket and chain (using 303-532), check that the
wedges are still in place, ti ghten the securing bolt to
115-125 Nm.
R e
move the chain tensioning
tool and the wedge(s).
8. Remove the camshaft locking t ool 303-530 and transfer it to
Bank 1 camshafts, aligning the shafts slightly as necessary.

9. Inst
all the chain tensioning
tool 303-532 to the exhaust
camshaft sprocket, Bank 1.
Re
position the sprockets to the most advantageous
position for use of the tool.
R
emove the tool.

.
Install the primary timi ng chain, Bank 1.
1. Install the primary chain over the crankshaft sprocket and the intake camshaft sp rocket. There must be no
slack on the drive side of the primary chain and the
sprockets should not be rotated on the camshafts (or
the tensioning tool may not fit).

11
.
Install the primary ch ain tensioner blade.
1. Position the tensioner blade to the cylinder block.
2. Install the retaining / pivo t bolt and tighten it to 12-
16 Nm.
12. Install the primary chain te nsioner assembly. Refer to
Operation 12.65.54.
Use a wedge 3
03-533 (or two if required) between the
primary chain tensioner and te nsioner blade, to take up
the slack in the chain.

13. Tigh
ten the exhaust camshaft
sprocket securing bolt.
1. Install the chain tensioner tool 303-532 to the sprocket holes.
Appl y force
to the tool in an
anti-clockwise direction to
tension the chain on its drive side.
2. Whilst applying the opposing force to the sprocket and chain, tighten the sprock et securing bolt to 115-
125 Nm.

14 .
Tigh
ten the intake camshaft
sprocket securing bolt.
1. Whilst still applying the opposing force to the
sprocket and chain (using 303-532), check that the
wedges are still in place, ti ghten the securing bolt to
115-125 Nm.
R e
move the chain tensioning
tool and the wedge(s).
15. Remove the camshaft locking tool 303-530.
16. Raise the vehicle on the ramp.
17. Remove the crankshaft setting tool 303-531.

18 . Inst
all the crankshaft position sensor.
1. Install the sensor to the flywheel housing and install
the securing bolt. Tighten to 6-8 Nm.
2. Install the access grommet to the housing.
19. Lower the ramp.
20. Install the Timing Cover. Refer to Operation 12.65.01.
21. Move the engine compartment cover from the service position
and connect the gas struts.
22. Remove the paint protection sheets and close the cover.
